Description

when an AM doesn't start in a functional test the log message is simply that the app didn't come up in the time limit.

We can do better: on a launch failure

1. enum the app records for that app instance name
2. grab the latest one
3. print it to the junit log
4. include it in the failure exception thrown

This will make launch failure causes more obvious, and enable more meaningful bug reports to be filed
